The Well of Souls is the fourth level in the Nintendo DS version of LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. It is the fourth level of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Story

Disguised as two Egyptian excavators, Indiana Jones and Sallah sneak into the German's Tanis dig site, where they use the Staff of Ra to locate the Ark's final resting place, The Well of Souls. Indy continues with Sallah and finds the well. Indiana is reluctant to go in, as it is full of snakes, his worst fear. Anyway, Sallah pushes Indiana and both manage to reach the Ark by solving numerous and complex puzzles. Sallah pulls the Ark out of the well, but is captured by Enemy Soldiers who had noticed Indiana earlier and are now accompanied by Belloq and Major Toht. Major Toht drops the recently captured Marion (now wearing an evening dress provided by Belloq) into the pit with Indiana and then seals the place off while the troops carry off the Ark. Indiana and Marion eventually manage to find a way out of the well through a weak stone wall after defeating Egyptian Mummies.

Walkthrough

You start in the Map Room. Push a golden box to the end of the chessboard path to reveal an artifact and a rope. Climb up the ledges in front and climb the rope to reach the next area.

In the next area, go down the ramps below and go right to find a blue pad. You will need to find three blue bricks and place them on the blue pad. The first two you will find inside some buried boxes to the right of the scaffolding. Use Sallah to dig up the boxes and destroy them to reveal these two blue bricks. Grab them and place them on the blue pad (it is recommended that Sallah carry one, while Indy carries the other so you don't have to return to the same spot). The third blue brick can be found in the right corner of the scaffolding. Grab it and place it on the blue pad. By placing the three blue bricks on the blue pad, you will build a box that will allow you to reach the scaffolding above. Jump on it to reach the upper scaffolding and go right to find a brown pad. Use Indy's whip on it to lower a bridge and continue to the right of the scaffolding. Follow the scaffolding to the far right, where you will reach the high ledge. There, go to the open square hole on the right to move on to the next area.

In the next area, you will again have to place three blue bricks on another blue platform. The first blue brick can be found on the central ledge. To find the second one, use Indy's whip on a blue pad to the right to reach the eastern ledge and press a square button on the wall to raise a platform so Sallah can cross the snake pit. Switch to him, dig up a wooden torch, grab it and approach a lit brazier to light the torch. With the torch lit, approach the two torches on the front wall to light them and open a door with the second blue brick. Grab it and carry it to the central ledge. Before finding the third blue brick, use Sallah to dig up two boxes on either side of the first one and destroy them to build two buttons. Have both characters step on them to raise a platform and you can reach the northern ledge. Grab one of the two blue bricks found and place them on the blue pad. To find the third blue brick, return to the central ledge and use Indy on a brown pad on the left to reach the west ledge. Next, build a square button on the wall and press it to raise a platform so Sallah can reach the western ledge. Then, repeat the same steps you did with the second blue brick to find the third one. Grab it and place it on the blue pad on the northern ledge. By placing the three blue bricks on the blue pad, you will build a square button on the wall. Press it to open the door that will take you to the next area.

In the next area, go right and cross the bridge on the right, which will then be destroyed to the ground. You will be attacked by four Egyptian Mummies. Defeat them and four more will attack you. Defeat them as well and the steps on both sides will lower. Use the bridge pieces to build a ladder in the center, which will allow you to reach the high central ledge with another blue pad. For the third time, you will need to place three blue bricks on the blue pad. The three blue bricks can be found in the center of the lower floor, with the third one buried. Dig it up with Sallah, grab it and place it on the blue pad. Repeat this with the other two blue bricks and you will be able to build a square button on the wall. Press it to open the door to the next area.

In the next area, use the loose pieces in the center of the dais to build a second square button on the wall. Then, press both buttons quickly to reveal the Ark of the Covenant, at which point a cutscene will play. When the scene ends, Marion will replace Sallah and four Egyptian Mummies will appear at the back doors on either side. Defeat them and a brown pad will appear on the right. Use Indy's whip on it to knock down a large statue and make a hole in the right wall. Go through the newly made hole to reach the final area.

In the final area, go right and you will be attacked by three Egyptian Mummies. Defeat them and two more will appear on the right. Defeat them as well and the door on the far right will open. Go through it to finish the level.

There, use a character with bottles to throw a bottle into the burning brazier and destroy the grey rocks next to it to build a brown pad. Then, use a character with whip on it to reach a high platform and jump across the following platforms until you reach this artifact.
  7. (F) After surviving the mummy trap in the fourth area, go up the steps on the right and use a character with book on a school access panel to open a door that will take you to a special area. In that special area, use a character with whip on a brown pad to cross a gap and use the whip again on another brown pad to pull a lever. This will raise a bridge for the other character to cross. Next, you will need to place three blue bricks on a blue pad. The first blue brick can be found on the ledge with the blue pad. Grab it and place it on the blue pad. The second blue brick can be found inside grey rocks on the central ledge. Return to the central ledge and destroy the grey rocks to reveal it. Then grab it, carry it to the east ledge, and place it on the blue pad. The third blue brick can be found on the west platform. Jump towards it and then grab the blue brick. Then jump back to the central ledge and place the blue brick on the blue pad. By placing the three blue bricks on the blue pad, you will build a button on the ground. Step on it to make the west platform go up and down. Get on the west platform and wait for it to rise to reach the ledge with this artifact.
  8. (S) After knocking down the large statue in the fifth area, this artifact will appear at the base of the statue.
  9. (F) In the special area with the Red Power Brick, instead of entering through the hatch, go right and use a digger character to dig up this artifact.

• One Shot Red Power Brick
  • (F) In the final area, destroy two boxes and use a Thuggee character on a Thuggee access panel to open a door to a further special area. In that special area, you will have to place three blue bricks on a blue pad. The first blue brick can be found inside a grey rock in the north corner. Destroy the grey rock to reveal it, grab it and place it on the blue pad. The second blue brick will be found buried on the right side. Use a digger character to dig it up, grab it, and place it on the blue pad. The third blue brick will be found buried on the left side. Dig it up too and place it on the blue pad. As you place the blue bricks on the blue pad, three Egyptian Mummies will appear on the left and three more on the right. Defeat them so they don't bother you. By placing the three blue bricks on the blue pad, you will build a button on the ground. Step on it to lower four platforms. Jump across them to reach a ledge with a hatch. Use a small character to enter it and reach a high ledge where you will find this Red Power Brick on the left.
